Hi friends,
Welcome to your weekly terrascope.
This is for the third week of October,
Starting October 19th,
2026.
The Five of Swords has entered this week.
It is another one of those cards that feels slightly difficult.
And I mean that in the way of Things happen in our lives and sometimes we make decisions or choices that later we aren't quite happy with the result or that we regret.
This card is a reminder that It's no use for us to drop into guilt,
To drop into shame.
In fact,
I see this card as a reminder to recenter and look at the choices I've made.
And then make a new choice from there.
There's not much we can do about the past.
What we can do right now is more important.
This week reminds us that one of the most powerful things we can do is stop giving our energy to what no longer deserves it.
That's where we get the monthly Empress card,
That energy to come on in and help us through that because the Empress isn't focused on the conflict,
Isn't focused on the past.
The energy of the Empress is just focused on that growth,
That possibility.
And so with the Five of Swords,
We're being asked to release whatever is draining us and reclaim the energy to what matters most.
If we take the example we've been using this month,
Which is that seed.
The Five of Swords is coming in and saying,
What are the weeds that are taking up space?
And by that,
I mean,
What thoughts,
What actions are you doing?
Are you giving energy to that are taking up too much of your valuable energy,
Time and space?
It's time to let them go.
It's time to not overthink and stop comparing.
Giving ourselves the guilt trip that we just don't need right now.
So this week,
If we use the energy of the Empress with that Five of Swords,
It's about choosing ourselves and choosing the mental clutter that we want.
We get to decide what our thoughts are.
We get to decide what we ruminate on.
Prioritize that.
Prioritize your peace,
Your mind peace.
So a very quick message so that we don't go into overanalyzing this card.
It's very easy to do.
Think of it more as sometimes growth isn't about adding something new.
And sometimes it's about releasing what's been competing for our attention,
What's been taking up our space.
And that is the goal of the week.
Thank you so much for showing up.
I appreciate you.
I know October is a very interesting month,
But I do believe it's creating some growth that we've been asking for.
I'm excited to see what comes around the corner.
